I was trying to look up some family history and came across this again, I remember crying in the bathroom before the service till my dad helped me. I still miss my grandpa everyday. I miss hockey school in Calgary when he would pick me up… I still have his card from the funeral in my room. I miss him lots, but know he is in a better place with his old lady:)
